Good starter micro, book has a lot of simple usefull projects.
I think they have a voltage to frequency example.
It has built in emulator debugger, but you must like spaggetti to
like BASIC code.  If you got about $200 I would get the parallax 
programmer and CCS C compiler, then you can get more chips. 
Check out www.parallax.com
There is also a good stamp mailing list, mostly basic electronics.
